Chapter 315: 【314】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 165 (3 Updates)

When the Prince Zhao Mansion discovered that "Fisherman’s Noodle" could still thrive despite their imposed limits, they were utterly furious.

The grievance of Princess Yijia was no longer just about her own face, but a matter concerning the honor of the entire Prince Zhao Mansion.

You own a noodle house, do you? Then we’ll cut off your grain supply and see what you have left to sell!

Thus, half a month later, Xiao Yu and their group could no longer buy grain.

Fortunately, Yan Qing had a grain store in hand, which could serve as an interim solution, but this was obviously not a sustainable plan. Moreover, they felt incredibly frustrated.

Especially Xiao Yu, who always believed that she would not be a gentleman if she did not take revenge. She very much wanted to fix this annoying Prince Zhao.

From Yan Qing, she knew that not only was Prince Zhao a drunkard, but also a lecher.

Thus, she thought of the fine wines in her "space", casually taking out a bottle of it should be better than the ancient booze, right?

One afternoon, the two huddled in the study, whispering for a long time, and when Yan Qing left, he took with him two jars of wine she had repackaged.

By midnight, a Hidden Guard knocked on her window.

"Miss Shen, my lord asked me to inform you, the fish has bitten the bait. Just wait and watch the good show tomorrow morning!"

Xiao Yu’s lips curled in satisfaction, knowing that once her wine made an appearance, it couldn’t fail to make an impression.

She took a sedative pill and, at last, could finally sleep well.

The next morning, the sky was sprinkled with light autumn rain, a bit chilly around five or six o’clock, when usually the streets were swept clean. But today was different. Something big seemed to have happened at the Imperial Censor Zuo Mansion, as horrifying screams of a woman could be heard early in the morning.

Despite the Imperial Censor Zuo locking up all the doors immediately, somehow, the news still leaked out.

The noble Prince Zhao actually committed indecency while drunk, sleeping with Lord Zuo’s newlywed wife who had just crossed the threshold a few days ago.

Were people in ancient times not gossipy?

Just by looking at the commoners standing at Lord Zuo’s doorstep to watch the commotion, one could tell that not only did the Imperial Censor lose face, but Prince Zhao wasn’t faring any better.

This was a huge scandal.

You’re Prince Zhao, with no lack of women at your disposal, and yet you don’t choose maids or old women, instead, you target Lady Zuo for your misconduct—is this not asking for trouble?

What are the people of the Imperial Censorate even for? Although there is competition between them, it’s said that in the end, they are all from the Imperial Censorate. Now that the wife of Imperial Censor Zuo has been insulted, could they let matters rest?

So, one after another, impeachment memorials against Prince Zhao were passed up, reaching the heavens.

At the same time, in Prince Zhao Mansion, Lady Zhao was weeping, devastated and heartbroken, cursing at how shameless their Prince was. Having already brought ten concubines into the house, how could that still not be enough? Running off to someone else’s mansion to cause trouble, wasn’t this deliberately upsetting them?

However, no matter how chaotic other families were, it had nothing to do with the ’two brothers’ in the noodle house, one munching on peanuts and the other sipping wine, struggling to conceal their grins that betrayed their inner joy and the smugness of little villains after their schemes had succeeded.

Especially Yan Qing, who admired Xiao Yu to the utmost: "Your wine is really extraordinary. To think Prince Zhao, after so many years of dominating the liquor scene, has never been so drunk as to be utterly unaware of his actions. That wife of Lord Zuo had even entered the house pregnant, clearly taking him for a fool. If we hadn’t been on good terms with him, he wouldn’t have taken such a big risk to kick this woman out of the Imperial Censor Zuo Mansion. Now, Prince Zhao has become the laughingstock, whether he can wear that green hat steadily depends on what that little wife can do, hehe, killing two birds with one stone, brilliant!"
